    I'm assuming your modem takes care of the connection and just gives you
    an internal IP address which you set to the gateway? or do you need to
    run PPPoE or some other protocol manually?

      Ed,

    it seems that I can't ping the Ethernet modem when using SMP
    kernel(destination unreachable), if I connet to ist internal webpage I
    get a message of no routing.
    I have iptables running: and everything is o.k on standard kernel!!!
    What is happening???
